摘要
Three tripodal ligands H3L1-3 containing imidazole rings were synthesized by the reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione with 1,3,5-tris[(3-formylphenoxy) methyl] benzene, 1,3,5-tris[(3-formylphenoxy) methyl]-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene, and 2,2',2"-tris[(3-formylphenoxy) ethyl] amine, respectively. Trinuclear Ru-II polypyridyl complexes [(bpy)(6)Ru3H3L1 3](PF6)(6) were prepared by the condensation of Ru(bpy)(2)Cl-2 center dot 2H(2)O with ligands H3L1 3. The pH effects on the UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of the three complexes were studied, and ground-and excited-state ionization constants of the three complexes were derived. The three complexes act as "off-onoff" fluorescence pH switch through protonation and deprotonation of imidazole ring with a maximum on-off ratio of 5 in buffer solution at room temperature.
